240 Mr. A. B. Brookr on the 



72. I'UATINCOLA RUMKTRA. 



Not, common. The only occasion on which I met with this 



bird was during the early part of* May, in the extreme S.W. 



of the island. 

 7.'i. Pbatincola bubzoola. 



Common and stationary. They are always very shy and 



hard to approach. 



74. ACCENTOB ALI'INUS. 



JVly brother, Sir V. Brooke, "who was with me in November 

 I8(*'j, observed a small flock of this species amongst the rocks 



at the hack of Villaeidro ; it is, however, a rare hird in the 

 island ; and none remain during the summer. 



75. Accentor modularise 



I do not consider this \>y any means a common hird in the 

 island. I only met with it on one occasion; this was in the 



month of March. 



70. R/UTICILLi I'limiMicuRA. 



I never saw this species till the beginning of April. Sal- 

 vador; mentions having seen some during winter. 



77. RiUTICILLA Trrn vs. 



Not Uncommon during winter. I do not think they remain 



to breed in the south of the island. 



78. Erithacus rubeci la. 



Common. 1 have noticed a great accession of numbers in 

 the plain during winter, but do not feel certain whether these 

 are residents in the island, driven from the mountains by the 

 severity of the weather, or whether they are fresh arrivals. 



I never saw K.ohins in Sardinia on any occasion resorting 



to houses, gardens, &c. in the same manner as on the 

 continent. 



79. Dun, i\s LUSCINIA. 



Arrives in great nmnhers during the month of April, ap- 

 pearing generally about the L5th. Prom that date till the 

 beginning of June the whole country is alive with their glo- 

 rious song bursting forth from every hedge and bush.
